The beach house was very nice. Great location too. Easy 5 min walk to the beach. Also easy to get back into the main stretch in Galveston from there.Views from the master balcony were great. Plenty of beach accessories as well. Would definitely book again when needing a space for a bigger group.

My family and I loved our stay at this property. The neighborhood was nice, walking distance to the beach and close to the sea wall. The house is also stocked with pretty much everything you can think of. Not to mention, the owner, Eric, was great from start to finish. My family and I would definitely stay here again.

Property was beautiful and clean. The elevator was great for my elderly parents. One of the problems was in the master bedroom, sun is very bright and blinds don't help. Mosquitoes were very bad. Overall a great place for a large group.

Family Fun

This property was fabulous. It was very well equipped. (except for paper products, only 1 roll of toilet paper in each bathroom. And only one roll of paper towel). We could have used some spray cleaner to clean and wipe counters after meals. Overall it was great! Plenty of beach toys and chairs. If you have a big group, stay here.

Pre-Christmas break with the family

My husband and I, our daughter and her husband and three kids took a 3-day visit to Galveston pre-Christmas just to spend quality time together. The house is amazing and everyone loved staying at Drift Away. The house is in a beautiful neighborhood with the beach a 3 or 4 minute walk to the beach. It is a short drive to Moody Gardens, downtown Galveston and historic homes. We loved the decor of the house and sitting outside in the evening with a glass of wine and listening to ocean. We all agreed (from 12 to 70) that we needed to visit again and stay at Drift Away. Thank you to Eric for being a gracious host. We loved our stay!!!
